Cast All Your Cares Upon Him

By Paula Marolewski, September 14, 2009 8:16 pm

A few thoughts today on what it means to cast all our cares on the Lord …

What are we giving to the Lord when we give him our burdens?

  • Our worry and anxiety about the situation
  • Our obsessive desire to think about the situation
  • Our need to control the situation
  • Our helplessness because we can’t control the situation

What are we not giving to the Lord when we give him our burdens?

  • Our concern for the situation
  • Our grief and  hurt caused by the situation
  • Our responsibility toward the situation

What do we receive from the Lord when we give him our burdens?

  • The internal, spiritual resources we need to deal with the situation
  • The wisdom to identify our responsibilities within the situation
  • The ability to rest despite the situation
  • The peace of knowing that God is sovereign over the situation
